Great news for my Ghost Ranch workshops in 2018--Take advantage of last year's rates! My 12th Ghost Ranch Art Workshop/ Retreat is my UN-traditional watercolor workshop 30 Sept-6 Oct. Four

Some of my 2018 news!
In June 2018 another workshop/retreat was added to the mix. Rather than watercolor, we spent the week with a different media each day--textiles with Shibori and
weaving, printmaking, jewelry, pouring acrylics and more! It was a tremendous success and will most likely have a follow-up next Spring!
"Thirsty Too" won the Jeanne Heartsill Memorial Honorable Mention at the 29th Visual Arts Society of Texas Membership Show.
I earned my signature status with the Southwestern Watercolor Society in Dallas with their 55th Juried Membership Show (September at the Eisemann Center in
